Klopp reveals hilarious pre-match Rocky-inspired speech fail during Dortmund career

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed an embarrassing moment in which he gave a Rocky-themed speech to his Borussia Dortmund players ahead of a clash with Bayern Munich.

The recently-crowned Best FIFA Men’s Coach tried to motivate his team using clips of the classic movie, but his speech backfired as the majority of his players were too young to understand the reference.

Klopp took Dortmund to back-to-back Bundesliga titles, temporarily breaking the dominance of Bayern in Germany.
